    Iac?

    Can someone please explain to me how our iac works? There are no hoses so is it the type that uses the motor to open and close the throttle bypass? Where does the air flow come from if there are no open vents or hoses coming from the iac. If I relocated it somewhere else on the manifold would it...

    IAC Valve question

    lets say I replace my upper manifold and replace it with a throttle body,elbow,supercharger from a cobra mustang. The elbow which is inbetween the supercharger and the throttle body has the same mount as my IAC motor, but the way that the iac valve works it will be useless with the different...

    Ford Fuel Injectors

    I need to change out my stock 19# injectors for a higher number for part of my supercharger project. To me it seems like there are two types, one skinny and one fatter. Are all the fat ones interchangable and vice versa? I looked at a thread that a guy had 42# lightning injectors on his...

    Throttle body for supercharger

    Dumb but useful question. I've got exhaust and intake so I was looking into getting the KKB throttle body. Its a pretty penny at 229 on ebay. I'm also always on the look for a used OHV paxton/eaton supercharger kit. Do these kits use the stock throttle body or do they have throttle bodies built...

    Need Southern Cali Transmission Guy

    I'm being proactive before my A4ld goes out soon, which is inevitable from reading posts. I was looking in to either getting the A4ld built stronger, c4 conversion, or 700r4 conversion. Anyone know someone reliable in Southern CA that I can call for prices and advice on which one to do?

    MAF housing

    2 part question. I plan on going to the junkyard to bet a bigger maf for my 4.0. Whats the best performance matchup? v6 mustang, 5.0 explorer/mustang? not feeling the plastic ones either.

    MAF question

    I have my exhaust turned down before the axle for clearance but I put on a stock muffler because it was too loud in the cab, but I have an exhaust cutout right past the manifolds that I open when I offroad. I also have a KKM intake and plan to get a maf sensor off a 5.0 and also get the BBK...

    Quieter exhaust question

    I have a big flowmaster which usually makes it much quieter, but the problem is I have a turndown before the axle and inside the cab is too loud. I need to keep the pipe before the axle so I was wondering if anyone has done a turnout instead of turndown before the axle? Will this make it alot...

    Getting lower gears

    I'm currently waiting for my my 4.56's from ebay to swap out my 3.55's. 4.56 should be lower than stock gearing for my 33's I believe while 4.10's would be closer to stock. So my question is, am I going to be quicker off the line than when I had stock tires with my 3.55's? Or because the tires...

    Battery terminal wire?

    Went offroading and my battery came loose and pulled some wires from the positive and negative cables. I was able to reconnect most of them to start my X back up again but I was unable to connect one wire from the negative terminal because of lack of length. Its a small wire that goes to a...

    Wire underneath hood?

    I removed the lining under the hood today (had tranny fluid from a leak that shot out from my radiator, and was ripped after my battery came loose while froading). I uncovered a wire with a plastic thing on the end that came up halfway up the hood on the drivers side. What is it? A light that...

    New radiator cap?

    I just upgraded to an aluminum radiator with 3 rows. It runs much cooler and I gained some horsepower. The thing is, when its cool the radiator is full and the overflow tank is full also. Then when I check it while its hot, the overflow coolant is still there. Is this normal or do I need to get...

    4x4 harness?

    I pulled my floor carpet and headliner and am cleaning up wires that are not being used. There is a grey harness connected right below the ash tray that runs under the driver seat. It looks like it goes into a rubber plug on the floor and am thinking this is for the 4x4 motor. Is this what the...

    Steering drags right

    I recently have had 3 front end alignments over the last 6 months due to my suspension shop having to correct some things (alignment cams popping out). Each time days later the car would start dragging right. The passenger tire visually looks off caster and camber a bit. I started to have...

    racing gears?

    im looking on ebay for 4.10 gears. I saw this company "assault" that has "racing/offroad" gears that they say will make more noise when installed. I won't get them based on that alone, but was wondering what was different about them that makes them noisier?

    Final verdict for my gearing!

    So ive looked up all the posts on 4.10 vs 4.56 and ive decided to go with 4.10's because im desert racing (dirt not sand), not 4x4ing much and it's also my daily driver. I currently have 3.55's and 31" tires. I'm going to bump up to 33" (10.5" wide, not 12.5") and im not ever going up to 35"...
